Dolph Ziggler Describes His Relationship With Vince McMahon
Former WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion Dolph Ziggler appeared on Out of Character with Ryan Satin to discuss a variety of topics. One of which was Ziggler now being in a position to help out some of the younger talent, a spot he takes seriously, even if he likes to bust their chops.
“Screw all of them, they’re not taking my spot,” Ziggler joked. “I’ll give you that answer just like I would say to them backstage, but also go, once the joke was over, I love passing that on. I really do. There’s no reason to be a negative bitter A-hole and then not give back to everybody else. I know what I’m doing better than almost everybody in the business, and I can give out lessons.
